Wood Furniture
Wood displays different grain patterns depending on which way it is cut - for example, the ‘medullary ray’
which can appear on oak furniture is a mark of good quality timber - these are characteristics of the natural
beauty of the wood. All timber surfaces will change colour and mellow over time. New furniture will initially
vary in shade from items that have been previously purchased.
How to care for your wood furniture
Furniture with a hard lacquer, wax polish or painted surface should be dusted with a dry cloth. Spillages should
be wiped up as soon as possible. Spray polishes should be avoided as they can contain silicones which may
spoil the furniture’s surface by building up over time. Use of cleaning materials containing abrasive compounds,
acidic or caustic reagents and any bleaches containing oxidising reagents should be avoided as prolonged
use may damage the lacquer surface. If sticky marks occur on the surface they can be removed with a dilute
solution of warm soapy water. The area should be rubbed lightly and then completely dried immediately
afterwards, before replacing any mats etc. Our furniture will endure most temperatures in the home but it is
best to avoid placing furniture next to heat sources such as radiators or fires. Be particularly careful with solid
wood as the lack of humidity caused by central heating can cause damage, such as warping.
Safety Instructions
Never drag furniture when moving it, always lift it. Take care when handling or moving the furniture as careless
handling may cause damage or injury. No liability will be accepted for damage or injury caused by incorrectly
installed furniture.
